Arches Nat'l Park

Our last day here in Moab, couldn't leave without going into Arches. So off we went on our road bikes. Left in the morning, had a hint of coolness in the air, cloud cover with a nice breeze. We where hoping it would stay with us all day.

There is a bike trail system here that goes from Moab to the park entrance and beyond. It crosses the Colorado River on the Colorado River Pedestrian Bridge (needs a better name! )

Here are some photos from our day.

Lots of cute little lizards here

First look into the park

The Long and Winding Road

Jim riding that long and winding road...

Park Avenue

Courthouse Towers

Three Gossips, Sheep Rock, Tower of Babel

The Organ

Balanced Rock

Delicate Arch (sadly we couldn't get closer, bike shoes not the best for climbing slick rock)

Salt Valley

Jim at one of the many vista points

They say there are BigHorn Sheep here... this was the only one we could find....

And always the best to come back to this sweet boy!

So those clouds and cool breeze I was talking about earlier...? Didn't last. The clouds parted enough for the strong sun to bear down on us, and that nice breeze turned into gale force winds.

A special thanks to the two women who gave us water to top off our waterbottles!

Tomorrow morning we leave here and head towards home. Will take us a couple days to get there. Not sure what fun exciting things we'll see but if we see them, so will you here :-)

It's really nice to see some of your travels. Doing all that by bike is a huge accomplishment. I am sure TSK will be excited to see you again. Of course he loves his kitty sitter, I'm sure, but there is nothing like their own humans, at least, if they don't cheat on you with other kitties like I do LOL.

I hope you will enjoy the TdF. I am looking forward to watching it as well, but tonight we are all watching the semi finals between Germany and Italy (football). Italy is winning!

Jim, Dana, been busy moving out of Sayulita and into pv. Now I too am pretty much settled. Your house looks very special and resonably new? Look forward to visiting. Veronica and I are going to San Miguel Allende for Christmas and back for New Years. Happy Birthday Jim. I have to select a profile to send this. I don't know which to use. I don't want it circling the world for everyone to see.....so I will choose anonymous, you'll know where it came from :-))
